Question

What does Fleming's Left Hand Rule determine when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field?
Options
A The magnitude of the current.
B The direction of the induced electromotive force (EMF).
C The direction of the force acting on the conductor.
Correct Answer
D The strength of the magnetic field.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 16 states, 'It is found that whenever a current carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, a force acts on the conductor, in a direction perpendicular to both the directions of the current and the magnetic field.' Fleming's Left Hand Rule helps determine this direction of force.

Hint

Fleming's Left Hand Rule is often associated with the 'Motor Rule'.
